"Walker was wisked out of Pearl Harbor, by plane, just days before Dec. 7, 1941 and that he had been associated with and was stationed in conjuction with the American signals intelligence listening post in Hawaii." What about his boss?

Ulrich von der Osten, high officer in German Military Intelligence, killed by a taxi cab in Times Square, March 1941. He had a report on the defenses of Pearl Harbor...Osten was a part of the Bund, which had forged close ties to the radical right, specifically at this time the Klan.

*After pearl harbour, Spain took over diplomatic representation of Japan. Havana was historically a nexus of Spanish interests, during this time specifically the Falangista. After the attack on pearl harbour they were decimated by the Cuban authorities, but evidence of influence lingered.

Mid-America Research Library changed its name to the American Security Council in 1956. The files from the Mid-America Research Library are now a part of the Sol Feinstone Library for the Survival of Freedom.

The American Security Council Fdn was formed in 1958.

Col. Samuel Dickens, a former intelligence officer and CIS board member, was the executive director for inter-hemispheric affairs for the American Security Council (ASC), an outfit founded by ex-FBI agents. ASC was an instrumental group which targeted leftists during the 1950s, the period of the McCarthyite witch-hunts. Founded in 1955, ASC funding has been provided by Motorola, Lockheed, Boeing and General Dynamics, among others.[15] The information they collected, much of it bogus, was then sold to ASC's dues-paying corporate members. At the height of their domestic operations ASC red hunters, including the sinister Roy Cohn, Senator McCarthy's chief inquisitor, were gathering the names of alleged "subversives" at the staggering rate of 20,000 per month. [16] One analyst has said that the ASC is "not just the representative of the military-industrial complex, it is the personification of the military-industrial complex."[17

The ASC was founded in 1955 by General Robert Wood (ret.), chairman and president of Sears, Roebuck & Co. , with assistance and support from Robert R. McCormick of the Chicago Tribune. (2,32) Sears, along with Motorola Corp, and Marshall.

Wood felt the U.S. lost the Korean War because of communist infiltrators within the U.S. To combat this, he founded the Mid-America Research Library to compile files on suspected communists who might apply for jobs in the private sector. (1,2) At its peak, the library served 3,500 firms and contained more than six million FBI-like personnel file cards. (2,10) The library cooperated with the House UnAmerican Activities Committee, the FBI, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and the Treasury Department. (1,23)

The library changed its name to the American Security Council in 1956, and a decade later broadened its goals to include "international security and nuclear strategy." It then moved to Boston, VA to be closer to the nation's capital. John Fisher, former FBI agent and chief of security at Sears, became the first president of the Mid-America Research Library and continues to head the ASC and the ASC Fdn today. (2,23) The files from the Mid-America Research Library are now a part of the Sol Feinstone Library for the Survival of Freedom. (2)

The ASC believes that communism and the Soviet Union are the greatest evils in the world, and that the Soviets are making an all out effort for military superiority and world domination. Those within the U.S. who advocate disarmament and lower defense spending are considered by the ASC to be victims of Soviet disinformation. The "Grand Strategy" of the ASC is to achieve military superiority so that the Soviets will not dare to attack.

The ASC would follow this stage with "psycho-political means to change Soviet goals and strategy." According to the ASC, this strategy requires a huge military build up, an internal strategic and civil defense network, an increase in security and intelligence capabilities, and strong opposition to all arms control agreements. Economically, the strategy requires a strong U.S. economy and policies that "will protect our overseas sources of energy and other vital raw materials." Outside of the U.S., it calls for use of nonmilitary means to deter the growth of communism, and support of our allies and other non-communist governments against communist aggression. (5)

ASC policy is developed by its steering committee, the National Strategy Committee. This committee is comprised of leaders from the military-industrial complex and high-ranking retired military people. Industrial representatives generally are recruited from corporations holding large military contracts. (10)

Original funding for the ASC came from Sears, Roebuck & Co, Marshall Field and Company, and Motorola Corp. (1) Major funding has continued to come from the corporate sector, including Sears, General Dynamics, General Electric, Lockheed, Motorola, and McDonnell-Douglas. (1,14) Common Cause magazine of July/Aug 1985 reported donations of $500,000 to the ASC Fdn from Lockheed, Boeing Corp and General Dynamics. General Dynamics then billed the Pentagon for its contribution. (23) U.S. Steel paid one of its employees, Steve Donchess, to work fulltime with ASC. (14)

Patrick J. Frawley, called in Power on the Right "the most visible, resourceful, and possibly wealthiest" member of the far right in the U.S. , has supported the ASC. (10)

ASC Fdn received a $40,000 grant from the Air Force in 1967 to produce a book of quotes from communist sources. The book, A Lexicon of Marxist-Leninist Semantics, was finally published in 1983 by the Western Goals Fdn, a group founded by Rep. Larry McDonald, a member of the John Birch Society. (23)

At its inception, the ASC worked with Joseph McCarthy and the House UnAmerican Activities Committee (HUAC).

Retired military personnel on the ASC or the CPTS include Lieutenant General Daniel Graham, Major General John K. Singlaub, Admiral Lyman Lemnitzer, Major General Milnor Roberts, Admiral Thomas Moorer, General Evan Hultman, General Robert Wood, Admiral Robert Spirer, General Andrew Goodpaster, and General Maxwell Taylor. (1) General Daniel Graham served with the CIA and for several years was director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency. (8) Major General John Singlaub served in the Office of Strategic Services during World War II, was deputy chief of the CIA in Korea during the Korean War, and was commander of the Joint Unconventional Warfare Task Force in Vietnam. (3,9)

Lee Penninton, the CIA agent sent to the home of Watergate burglar James McCord to ensure that {compromising}evidence was destroyed, was at that time a top ASC official. (32)

Ronald Reagan was a long-time member of the ASC before his election to the presidency. (23) Lev Dobrianski, {sometimes spelled "Lev Dobriansky"} the leading figure among the emigre groups that belong to the CTPS, was appointed ambassador to the Bahamas by President Reagan. His daughter {Paula J. Dobriansky}was a member of the National Security Council during the Reagan administration. (24)

Former Senator John Tower (R-TX) (the failed Bush nominee for Secretary of Defense) and Sen. J. Bennett Johnston (D-LA) appeared in the Peace Through Strength video produced by ASC in 1984. R. James Woolsey, former Undersecretary of the Navy also appears in the film. (25) Major participants in Peace Through Strength Week included: Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) Sen. Russell Long (D-LA), Sen. Ed Zorinsky (D-NE), Sen. Jake Garn (R-UT), former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Thomas Moorer and Brigadeer General John Bradshaw. (25)

President Lyndon Johnson asked John J. McCloy to serve on the Warren Commission. No less than nine presidents had called on the Wall Street lawyer for special assignments, yet he was little known to the public. McCloy said he entered the investigation "thinking there was a conspiracy," but left it convinced that Oswald acted alone. "I never saw a case that was more completely proven," he asserted.

McCloy had long been involved in the murky world of espionage, intrigue and nazis. He spent the decade of the 1930s working out of Paris. Much of his time was spent on a law case stemming from German sabotage in World War I. His investigation took him to Berlin, where he shared a box with Hitler at the 1936 Olympics. He was in contact with Rudolph Hess before the Nazi leader made a mysterious flight to England in 1941.

When the nazis occupied Europe, the banking exchanges between Britain and the U.S. on the one hand and Germany on the other carried on as usual.

In Trading With the Enemy, Charles Higham documents the role of Standard Oil~ of New Jersey, owned by the Chase Manhattan Bank, and I.G. Farben's Sterling Products with the Bank for International Settlements. Standard Oil tankers plied the sea lanes with fuel for the nazi war machine. Prior to the war McCloy was legal counsel to Farben, the German chemical monopoly.

*Refused to recommend the bombing of nazi concentration camps to spare the inmates on grounds "the cost would be out of proportion to any possible benefits."

In 1952 McCloy left a Germany...(and.)... became president of the Chase Manhattan Bank, director of a dozen blue chip corporations, and legal counsel to the "Seven Sisters" of American oil. During this period he acquired a client, the Nobel oil firm, whose interests in Czarist Russia had been managed by the father of George de Mohrenschildt, Lee and Marina Oswald's "best friend" in Dallas.

* the children of the 'Nisei' formed part of the decoders working for Willoughby.

One of the most brutal groups ever to settle in New Jersey since the English killed the Indians was the VorKommando Moskau, originally formed by the SS as they advanced into Eastern Europe and recruited White Russians fleeing their homeland. "VorKommando Moskau was an elite forward unit of SS intelligence on the Soviet front. Its primary mission was anti-Communist intelligence, but it was also responsible for security screening of the occupied populations in the broad sector of the Eastern Front...

VorKommando Moskau did not kill the Jews. [Or the Slavs, who were also slaughtered in large numbers.] It hired the collaborators, who recruited the executioners, who killed the Jews. From 1940 to 1942 this one small unit acted as an employment agency for the architects of the Nazi genocide in Eastern Europe." They primarily hired Eastern Europeans. [20]

During his tenure as Nazi hunter in the Justice Department, John Loftus discovered how the White Russians in the VorKommando Moskau were heavily recruited by the US government to fight the Soviets and how all documentation of their Nazi past was well hidden from prying eyes. "Many of the White Russian Nazis had been resettled en masse in the town of South River, New Jersey." [21] Allen Dulles and Bill Casey, who was later Reagan’s CIA director, resettled most of the Vorkommando Moskau’s elite leadership group in the New York - New Jersey area. [22] In April, 1998 it was discovered that Casey sought for and received a dispensation from the Justice Department so that CIA officers would not have to reveal drug trafficking on the part of their contract workers and this 6 months before large scale trafficking began in support of the Nicaraguan Contras. Casey was an old pro at sanitizing the unmentionable.

In 1950, the FBI "recruited every White Russian Nazi it could find in the New York - New Jersey area." When in the 60’s a New York reporter, Charles Allen, began his accusations that Nazis were living in the US, the FBI investigated him and labeled him a Russian pawn. [23] It would be interesting to find out about the role of these Nazis in Hoover’s COINTELPRO operations against the Black Panthers and others.

Given the massive settlement of Nazis in New Jersey, it would not at all be surprising if some number of them found their way into the State Police. After all, police work was what they were professionally suited for, what they had done for years prior to coming to the US. We can also expect the Nazis to have found jobs as corrections officers in a prison system which has shown itself remarkably tolerant of the Aryan Brotherhood and Sisterhood."

August 1961 - Vice president Johnson and General Lucius Clay, former High Commissioner for Berlin visits Germany

"The one instance in which LBJ played more than a peripheral role in foreign affairs was during a crisis over Berlin in August 1961. An exodus of many of the best-trained citizens from East Germany through Berlin moved the Communists to build a wall sealing off the eastern part of the city. Unclear as to whether this was a prelude to more aggressive action against West Berlin, unwilling to order an assault against the wall, as some in Germany asked, and eager to counter demoralization in the American, British, and French zones, Kennedy ordered Johnson to make a symbolic trip to Berlin.

Johnson was reluctant to go. He believed that such a `journey might produce more recrimination over U.S. weakness than hope that America intended to stand up to Soviet expansion. If he were right, as the President's representative, he would then take some, if not much, of the heat for a gesture that was too little and too late. Kennedy ordered 1500 U.S. troops to move from West Germany to West Berlin as a show of American determination. But believing this was insufficient to boost morale in West Berlin, he wanted Johnson to make a very public appearance in the city as a demonstration "to the Russians that Berlin was an ultimate American commitment."

Despite his doubts, Johnson took on the assignment with characteristic energy and preparation. He stayed up all night on his transAtlantic flight discussing his itinerary and speeches that would give meaning to his trip. Landing in Bonn, where West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer met him, Johnson refused to be drawn into the current election campaign between Adenauer and West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt. He refused Adenauer's request to travel together to West Berlin. Instead, he focused on giving the West German crowd greeting him a message from President Kennedy that America was "determined to fulfill all our obligations and to honor all our commitments." We will "dare to the end to do our duty."

Johnson's trip to West Berlin was a triumphal tour. After an eighty-minute flight to Tempelhof Airport, LBJ rode to the city center in an open car cheered by 100,000 spectators. Stopping repeatedly to shake hands with the people lining the curbs, he was greeted with unmistakable enthusiasm. At City Hall, where 300,000 Berliners had gathered, he declared himself in Berlin at the direction of President Kennedy to convey the same commitment that "our ancestors pledged in forming the United States: `Our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.'" The wall, Johnson presciently declared, was a testimony to Communism's failure. This was not a time for despair, but for understanding that "in the long run this unwise effort will fail.... This is a time, then, for confidence, for poise, and for faith--for faith in yourselves. It is also a time for faith in your allies, everywhere throughout the world. This island does not stand alone."

The next day, Sunday morning at 9 a.m., Johnson and General Lucius Clay, former High Commissioner for Berlin, who Kennedy had asked to join the Vice President, went to the Helmstedt entrance to West Berlin, where they waited the arrival of the 1500 troops traveling along a 104-mile stretch of Autobahn. President Kennedy, who normally spent his summer weekends in Hyannis Port, stayed in Washington to await word of the convoy's unimpeded arrival. When the column of tanks and troops reached the city at 10 a.m., Berliners greeted them with shouts, tears, and flowers. The commanding officer remembered the occasion as "the most exciting and impressive thing I've ever seen in my life, with the possible exception of the liberation of Paris." The moment was the capstone of what LBJ saw as his most successful vice-presidential mission abroad."

•••••••••••

26 February, 1963 - President Kennedy visits West Berlin.

3 September, 1963 - Vice President Johnson arrives in Stockholm on a visit to the Scandinavian countries.

"To head off any congressional investigations, President Johnson decided to create a blue-ribbon commission that would be headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren and composed of august leaders like Senator Richard Russell. When Russell said he didn't like Warren and refused the assignment, Johnson told him that he had no choice, that it already had been announced, that he could work with anyone for the good of America, and that Oswald's apparent connection to Castro and Khrushchev had to be prevented "from kicking us into a war that can kill forty million Americans in an hour."

"PRESIDENT Johnson and Chancellor Erhard have held a series of frank and far-ranging talks at the President's ranch in Texas in the last 2 days. A number of their discussions were private; in other talks they were joined by Secretary Rusk, Foreign Minister Schroder, and other advisers.

The Chancellor told the President of the deep sorrow and sense of personal loss which the German people have felt over the death of President Kennedy. The President expressed deep appreciation for himself and for the American people for this expression of sympathy. He paid a tribute to the late President Heuss, the distinguished first President of the Federal Republic.

The President and the Chancellor both emphasized the importance which they attach to this opportunity to meet early in their Administrations. Their extensive discussions serve to confirm the close understanding and high measure of agreement between the two governments on major international issues. These conversations have made it emphatically clear that there will be continuity"

With Chancellor Erhards staff at Johnsons ranch was Dr Ewald Peters, chief of security (and in charge of security during Kennedy's visit to Germany.)

"He was a top-flight professional and a very decent fellow" recalls a young American security officer who often worked with the trim, gray haired Kriminalrat..."

- In mid January, 1964 during Munich trial of a SS Officer, the name Peters is mentioned in testimony...and within a week this Peters is identified as the 49 year old Ewald.

He is arrested on the return to Germany from a trip to Rome with Chancellor Erhard.

"Arrested on charges of participating in the mass murder of Jews in southern Russia was West Germany's top bodyguard, U.S.-trained Ewald Peters, who heads the federal government's criminal security police. Peters' job was to protect both West German and visiting statesmen, and he was rated as excellent on both scores. U.S. Secret Service men found him highly effective during President Kennedy's visit to West Germany last summer, and had seen him in action again last month (December '64)during Erhard's visit to President Johnson's Texas ranch. Just who fingered Peters, the Interior Ministry was not saying, but there may have been more ghosts in the East German dossier than anyone suspected."

In hearings after his arrest and in letters he left behind, Peters repeatedly claimed innocence; state prosecutors have now marked the case "closed."

At this time the CIA-FBI-Nazi link was not publicly known. In the last decade, the New Jersey link has begun to be seriously investigated.

---However, already in 1938 the German Bund (NJ) had a significant membership of Ukranian Brown Shirts. They were in contact with the Mexican Russian Nazis, the Gold Shirts. In Havana were the spanish Grey Shirts.

What would have happened to Berlin, to the Cold war alliances, if all this had come to full public knowledge of the population of the West immediately after the assassination, when the drive was to pin it on a communist?? What if the possible revelations had shattered the Allies in finding that their champion and its security details was so deeply enmeshed with the most horrific of the Nazi War Criminals? Enough to force a first strike?
